Catalonia MotoGP - SA's Brad Binder share's his thoughts

Brad Binder is in Barcelona for the Catalonia GP, the seventh race of the season. After six races, how would he rate his season out of 10? "I would probably give it a six, because I’ve come sixth four times," says Brad. 

"I’m tired of sixth." 

"I’ve had more than enough sixth positions for the year now. Hopefully we only finish in front of sixth from now on.”

'Great condition'

According to Brad it’s been a slightly strange start to the year.

He says: "The good thing about 2018 so far is the way I have been training and the way I feel, and that’s really good after I struggled with that injury last year,” he says, adding that physically he feels in great condition. 

"The letdown has been the end results. Even on weekends when I have felt really strong and I think, well, okay, it’s possible to fight for podiums for sure, things become a little difficult and we can’t quite get up there.

"But I feel like that’s on the verge of changing after last weekend.”
